Changing the Lamp
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section,
follow the Safety Instructions as described on page 5.
Replace the lamp when the message "Lamp is approaching the end of its
useful life in the operation. Replacement suggested!
www.dell.com/lamps" appears on the screen. If this problem persists after
replacing the lamp, contact Dell. For more information, see "Contacting
Dell" on page 50.
CAUTION: Use an original lamp to ensure safe and optimal
working condition of your projector.
CAUTION: The lamp becomes very hot when in use. Do not
attempt to replace the lamp until the projector has been allowed to

CAUTION: Do not touch the bulb or the lamp glass at any time.
Projector lamps are very fragile and may shatter if touched. The
shattered glass pieces are sharp and can cause injury.
CAUTION: If the lamp shatters, remove all broken pieces from the
projector and dispose or recycle according to state, local, or federal
law. For more information see www.dell.com/hg.
